He was on the teach- ers' committee, which had the power to desienate ait the instructors—some 450 in number. He was also at the head of the supply committee, which purchased §100,- 000 worth of supplies ana hired hundreds of laborers during the year for work in the depariment, Auother year would have made Webb a traly large factor in locat politics. He was certainly coming right to the front. Aiready he was being boomed for the City Council and would it things had gone right have been nominated and elected as Aldermanic representative from the Ninth Ward next vear. Then came the revelation which placed Webb in the light of a bribe-taker and & | publee . flicizl who jevies blackmail. In | one briet moment the whole structure of {the future of this young man was shat- tered, Director Joseph F. Adams, who, accord- ing to his own confession, is as deep in | the mnd as Dircctor Webh is in the mire, was elected last year as a Populist. -He is an o!d ‘man, but nad always borne a No one had ever | abte, and he'is an old-time resident of the | eify. “He 12 » brick contiractor. !~ Directors Conray and Davis, who filed | the charges against Direciors Adams and | Webb, are practicing attorneys in the city. ‘Fhey bave never taken any part in poli- cs and are looked upon as honorable {men.

He testified before the Grand Jury that Elder J. 8. Pitman did not give nim the $65 that Janitor E. E. Cooper paid to Tetain his position. Later and fore the School Board he confessed to having received ‘tlte money. Mr, Axtell i is a self-confessed perjurer as well as a collector of bribe money. Principal Mark Keppel of the Union- avenue Scheol isin a fair way to lose his position, He testified before in a very flippant way, and toid How he had raised he §120- to pay for his position if he found: that it was absolutely necessary.

One of the resulteof the revelations will be the defeat of the scnool bonds, for ch an election is to be held on next sdiy. The proposition is 1o vote bonds 1t of $339,000, with which new dings were 10 be erected.

His establishment d thst-of Director Webb, who is in k2 sfationery line, arein the same building. - An attempt will be made to'show that y teachers wera given to understand that if they wanted to bold their positions it would be a good idea for them to purchase a piano of Director Bartiett. Jt is asserted that moany of them aid so, buying ‘on the in- staliment plan. Those wanted po: tions first purchased an_instrument - and then got an appointment. The board it | seif purchased twer ine pianos at $2: each. Director Barijett ‘and Director Webb, it is claimed, made n very neat! deal on this purchase. It will be shown | that the instruments purchased are of an | inferior quality and not worth within $100 of the price paid for them. | Then there is a deal made by the supply | committee for kindergarten desks which | will be probed to the vottom, for it i< al- | leged that while the contract for these | desks was let at §1 75 a desk they were, as | a matier of fact, made for $i25a desk, and this was all that was paid for them. Director Webb was chaitman of the sup- ply committee. Another expenditare thar will be in. being quired into is & $500 appropriation made | X out of the public school fund to send Di- rector Webb to the National Educational | Association meeting at Milwaukee, Wis., last June. This money the board appro- priated without warrant of law. A number of additional witnesses came | forward to-day and offered to testify. They | areempioyesol the department, and,as the | Waue shairman, board guarantees them exemption, they feel free 1o tell what they know. . Some | very queer transactions are brougut to the suriace. Director Webb, who has been accused | in the confession of Axtell and Adams, is a young man and of some considerable fortune.” He bas been a resident of Los Angeles for thirteen years and is a promi- nent Spring-sireet business man, Last | year, for the first time, he took a moreor | Jess prominent part in pol:tics. His can- | didacy for School Director for the Ninth | Ward was indorsed by the League for| Better City Government, ana he was ' elected by an overwhelming majorit; Every one predictea great thing Schoot Director-elect Webb. He twas| young and bright and energetic, and they | going to bayl all said that he would come 0 the front, | And he bas come to the front, but ina most unfortunate way. Webb started out, though, to realizs the | expectations of his friends. He organized the School Board. He programmed his action from the day it was organized up tothe time the first exposure ot the black- mail he is charged with having levied on the teachers was made. Webb named every employe of the de- vartment he desired toname. He had perfected a combination of five members, with himself making six in all. The three members not in that combination were Directors Braly, Conroy and Davis. Webb ruled with the power of an autocrat. He hed the entire department under bis thumb, and old stagers in the business of | Jordan, them while they are receiving instruction are not at hand. Baut the feeling tbat it would be unwise to place the expenditure of this vast sum in the hands o1 the pres- ent Scnool Board has tsken possession ot the people, and it is very probable that the bonds wili not carry, as a two-thirds majority is required. In the invesiigation that has been made | two localatiorneys have been promtnently ought before the public as presecutors. They are T. E Gibbon, representing the League for Better City Government, and Judge J.- Noonan Philiips, rapresenting the Purity League. These gentlemen have examined all the witnesses for the prosecution, and the consensus of opinion |13 that the case has been handled in a very clever way. Indictmeunts from the Grand Jury are expected in afew days against two mem- bers of the School Bceard and Superin- | tendent Axtell.

SLEW HIS WIFE [N RANDSBURG David Davidson’s Trial for Murder Begun at Bakersfield. Evidence That the Defense Will Advance a Plea of Insanity. Crims of the Prisoner Committed on a Street of the Mining Town. Epectal Dispatch to THe CALL BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 1.—The trial of David Davidson, the Randsburg wife- killer, is on in the Buperior Court. It was called yesterday, and the time until late this afternoon was spent in selecting a jury. The case is attraciing considerabdle attention from the people of the county. Both sides have a large number of wit- nesses. Judging from questions pro- pounded to the jurors by the defense when examining them for the panel, the insanity plea is to b> advanced. The jurors were pointedly asked if they enter- tained any vrejudice against insanity as a point of defense for murder. Many were excused in-failing to answer this question satisfactorily. The defendant has not a prepossessing appearance, His dress is exceedingly filthy and unkempt. His hair and nails are untrimmed. He sits motionless, as though thrown into his chair and con- tinually gazes bulged-eyed at the floor, never uttering a word or giving the least heed of what is going on. insanity to gain sympathy. The crime for which Davidson is being triel was committei on May 19 at Rands- burg, when he thot his wife to death on a street while holding her in his arms. At the time he acted as though he wanted 1o shoot himself, but apparently reiented when the officers came upon him. He and his wife were separated and she was conducting a restaurant at Randsburg, while he was living in Los Augeles, where both once resided. He sent word to her from Los Angeles that if she would not come to him he would come 10 Randsburg and kill her. He kept his word. HOME FROM STARVING Terrible Ravages of the Plague. NEW YORK, Dec.

FOLSOM WANTS THE BOTLEVARD Rousing Mass-Meeting | in the Historic Town. Citizens Eager 1o Cast Their Ballots for the New Highway. Careful Canvass Shcws That Few Will Vote Against the Frojact. —— Epecial Dispatch to THE CALL. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 1.—There was a regular oidfime campaign meeting at Folsom last night. Bonfires burned in the streets, the band played and a large audience assembled in the Town Hall to hear the speakers. ~ Politics was not the | topic of discussion, bowever, as R:publi- cans, Democrats and Populists are stand- ing side by side in the fight up there for good roads, P. A. Cohn, the County Commissioner, called the meeting to order apd intro® duced C. L. Ecklon #s chairman. Ecklon, in accepling the chairmanship, said: “Ladies and gentlemen: I thank you for the honor conferred on me in making me chiairman of this meeting. I am in hearty accord with the movement which will. give to Folsom one of the finest boulevaras in the world. I believe all our people in this section of the county feelas| 1do. ‘“‘However, the friends of the measure thought it best to hold a meeting here, as they have in other portions of the county, and we have assembied to-night to hear what they bave to say. H. M. Smith has been selected as secretary. I now take pleasure in introducing Charles T. Hughes, secretary of the commission.” Hughes devoted his time to the proposi- tion from a financial standpoint. He oke to his hearers particularly as resi- dents of the Fourth Supervisor District, and pointed out to them the many advan- tages which would flow from the comple- tion ot tne road under the plans of the State Board of Highways. Commissioner Cohn was then called upon and made & very earnest and effect- ive appeal to his neighbors. He said he had been appointed by the Governor to tke position of Commissioner to carry out the provisions of the bill and he wou d do 20 to the letter. He believed that $75.000 | was sufficient to build the road if expend- ed carefully, and as far as he was con- | cerned it would be so expended. He be- | lieved in a fair compensation for a day’s work, and as the buik of the money was to be raised in Sacramento County he be- lieved that Sacramento laborers should | bave the praference in employment, No one must think, however, that tnere were to be any soft joos connected with the | work of construction, because there would | | be none, and every man employed would | be expected to do for the county and Staie | the same as he would do for a private em- | | ployer. He declared there would be no | | such wastes of money as had character- | | ized the expenditurss of public funds on county roads in the past. Colin conciuded by saying that the only monument he wunted over the humbie spot which should mark his resting place in the town where he intended to spend his days was the simple inscription that he had contributed 10 the building of the Fo som boulevard. After the meeting TuE CaLL corre- | McGee that he had seen the giri g A DIPLOMAT FROM HASTINGS LAW COLLEGE News comes from Tokio that Tetsuya Hayakawa, formerly a law student at Hastings College, has been promoted to the position of Minister Resident at the unusually early age of 33.

He remained at Korea until the summer of 1888, when he was transferred to San Francisco, where he was Chancellor of the Consulate and afterward Acting Consul. While there he devoted “nis spare hours to the study of law, attendinc lectures at Hastings College. . In 1839 he receive_d instructions to proceed to Barlin as attache to the imperial legation there. At his new post he continued his legsl studi-s at the Berlin University, paying particalar attention to public laws. In 1892 he was recalled home, and in November the same year he was appoinied private secretary to the Minister of Agriculture ~and Commerce. In thatcapacity he has se-ved under three successive chiefs— Com_xt Goto, Viscount Enomoto and Count Okuma.
